The catcher, who missed the last 20 games with a concussion, will start and bat seventh against the Cincinnati Reds tonight.

Prior to his injury against the Minnesota Twins on June 18, Ruiz was batting .275 with two home runs and 13 RBIs.

To make room on the roster, the team designated catcher Dane Sardinha for assignment. The former IronPig hit .205 with three homers and eight RBIs in 13 games with the Phils. If he passes through waivers, Sardinha will have 10 days to be either traded, released or accept a minor league assignment.”
